Hi Valentine,

That does not make it ok to have del called several time, does it? That's a tricky question.

If the Python documentation now says something like ``the del method is never called more than once on the same instance'' without acknowledging this corner case, then it could be regarded as documentation bug. I didn't check, though. But feel free to open an issue and mention everything I said above, if you want to.

A bientôt,

Armin.
